30.The NACC agrees with the applicant's delineation of the wetland resource
areas on the site as shown on the plans dated referenced herein.
2 NACC 5/15/01
DEP FILE # 242 - 1076
31.The NACC finds that the intensive use of the upland areas and buffer zone
proposed on this site will cause further alteration of the wetland resource
areas. In order to prevent any alteration of wetland resource areas a
twenty five foot (25`) No-Disturbance Zone and a fifty foot (50`) No-
Construction Zone shall be established from the edge of adjacent
wetland resource areas except where otherwise noted on the record
plans referenced herein dated REV May 7t", 2001.
32.This document shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts,
and specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any
conflicting contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all

from failure to comply with its conditions.
33.The owners of the project and their successors in title, in the event they
proceed to alter areas subject to the Commission's jurisdiction under the
order, agree that the Order does not in itself impose upon the Town or their
consultants any responsibility to maintain the proposed drainage system and
that said Town shall not be liable for any damage in the event of failure. By
acceptance of this Order, the owners agree to indemnify and hold harmless
to the Town, it's consultants and its residents for any damage attributable to
alterations undertaken on this property pursuant to the Order. Issuance of
these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site or
downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any other
form of water damage. Maintenance of the drainage system, if accepted by
the Town as part of a public way, becomes the responsibility of the Town.
34.Issuance of these Conditions does not in any way imply or certify that the site
or downstream areas will not be subject to flooding, storm damage or any
other form of water damage.
Pre-Construction Conditions
35.No work shall be undertaken until all administrative appeal periods from this
Order have elapsed or, if such an appeal has been filed, until all proceedings
before the Department or Court have been completed.
36.This Order shall be recorded by the applicant at the Registry of Deeds
immediately after the expiration of all appeal periods. No work shall be
undertaken until the Final Order has been recorded in the Registry of Deeds
or the Land Court for the district in which the land is located, within the chain
of title of the affected property. In the case of recorded land, the Final Order
shall also be noted in the Registry's Grantor Index under the name of the
owner of the land upon which the proposed work is to be done. In the case of

registered land, the Final Order shall also be noted on the Land Court
Certificate of Title of the owner of the land upon which the proposed work is
to be done. The recording information shall be submitted to the North
Andover Conservation Commission on the form at the end of this Order prior
to commencement of the work. Any Order not recorded by the applicant
before work commences may be recorded by the NACC at the applicant's
expense.
37.A sign shall be displayed at the site not less than two square feet or more
than three square feet in size bearing the words "Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection, Lot#1 Chestnut Street, File
Number 242-1076."
38.Any changes in the submitted plans caused by the applicant, another Board's
decision or resulting from this Order of Conditions must be submitted to the
NACC for approval prior to implementation. If the NACC finds said changes
to be significant, the NACC will call for another public hearing (at the expense
of the applicant). Within 21 days of the close of said public hearing the NACC
will issue an amended or new Order of Conditions. Any errors found in the
plans or information submitted by the applicant shall be considered as
changes. The proposed project may be still under review by other local or
state boards or agencies. This may result in changes to the project plans or
wetland impacts. If any such changes occur a revised plan and an
explanation of the revisions shall be submitted to the NACC for review and
approval prior to the start of construction. No work shall begin on a project
until written approval has been granted by the NACC.
39.It is the responsibility of the applicant, owner, and/or successor(s)to ensure
that all conditions of this Order of Conditions are complied with. The project
engineer and contractors are to be provided with a copy of this Order of
Conditions and referenced documents before commencement of
construction.
40.It is understood that the bordering vegetated wetland across Chestnut
Street has been approximated on the record drawings as they are
subject to a separate Order of Conditions and on property owned by
someone other than the applicant. Furthermore, it is understood that
the 25-foot No-Disturbance Zone and 50-foot No-Construction Zone do
not encroach onto the dwelling portion of the subject parcels, rather,
they simply overlay Chestnut Street and/or the 30-foot front lot line
zoning setback. While the applicant shall not be responsible for
maintaining these flags in the field, he/she shall be responsible for
maintaining setbacks and limit of work areas as shown on the site plans
referenced herein. Any deviations from these plans that occur within
the 100-foot buffer zone are subject to NACC review and approval prior
to implementation of said change.

DEP FILE # 242 - 1076
41.A row of double staked hay bales backed by trenched siltation fence
shall be installed as shown on the record drawings referenced herein
along the west side of Chestnut Street. Erosion control barriers shall be
rotated away from each driveway so as to eliminate the amount of silt
that could potentially be directed down the individual driveway under
larger storm events. In addition, haybale check dams shall be installed
every 40-feet as shown in the proposed gravel swale along the east side
of Chestnut Street. The erosion control barrier will be properly installed and
placed as shown on the plans approved and referenced herein and shall be
inspected and approved by the NACC prior to the start of construction and
shall remain intact until all disturbed areas have been permanently stabilized
to prevent erosion. All erosion prevention and sedimentation protection
measures found necessary during construction shall be implemented at the
direction of the NACC. The NACC reserves the right to impose additional
conditions on portions of this project to mitigate any impacts which could
result from site erosion, or any noticeable degradation of surface water
quality discharging from the site. For example, installation of erosion control
measures may be required in areas not shown on the plan(s) referenced in
this Order of Conditions. Should such installation be required by the NACC,
they shall be installed within 48 hours of the Commission's request.
42.The applicant shall have on hand at the start of any soil disturbance, removal
or stockpiling, a minimum of twenty (20) extra hay bales and sufficient
stakes for staking these bales (or an equivalent amount of silt fence). Said
bales shall be used only for the control of emergency erosion problems and
shall not be used for the normal control of erosion.
43.A check payable to the Town of North Andover shall be provided in the
amount of$3,000 which shall be in all respects satisfactory to Town Counsel,
Town Treasurer, and the NACC, and shall be posted with the North Andover
Town Treasurer through the NACC before commencement of work. Said
deposit of money shall be conditioned on the completion of all conditions
hereof, shall be signed by a party or parties satisfactory to the NACC, and
Town Counsel, and shall be released after completion of the project, provided
that provisions, satisfactory to the NACC, have been made for performance
of any conditions which are of continuing nature. The applicant may propose
a monetary release schedule keyed to completion of specific portions of the
project for the NACC's review and approval. This condition is issued under
the authority of the local ByLaw.
5 NACC 5/15/01
DEP FILE # 242 - 1076
44.The applicant shall designate a professional Wetland Scientist as an
"Erosion Control Monitor" to oversee any emergency placement of controls
and regular inspection or replacement of sedimentation control devices. The
name and phone number of the erosion control monitor must be provided to
the NACC in the event that this person has to be contacted, due to an
emergency at the site, during any 24-hour period, including weekends. This
person shall be given the authority to stop construction for erosion control
purposes. The erosion control monitor will be required to inspect all such
devices and oversee cleaning and the proper disposal of waste products.
Cleaning shall include removal of any entrapped silt. At least once per
month in which construction activities occur on-site and for as long thereafter
as ground remains un-stabilized, the applicant shall submit a written report
from the erosion control monitor to the NACC certifying that, to the best of
his/her knowledge and belief based on a careful site inspection, all work is
being performed in compliance with this Order of Conditions. All wetland
resource areas must be visually inspected for siltation, turbidity, and/or other
water quality impacts. In addition, documented evidence that the 25' No-
Disturbance Zone and 50' No-Construction Zone setbacks are being adhered
to must be included in the Erosion Control Monitor's report with
measurements taken from at least 3 location on-site (except where otherwise
waived).
45.The applicant shall stake out those foundation corners that fall within the
100-foot Buffer Zone prior to construction so that the Conservation
Commission and/or their designated Agent can field verify that the building
setbacks depicted on the plan of record are being adhered to.
46.The applicant and/or the legal owner of that portion of land upon which these
Orders of Conditions have been placed shall provide to the NACC prior to
transferring, or assigning any portion of said land to another party, subject to
said Orders of Conditions, the "Affidavit" attached via "Appendix A" signed
under the pains and penalties of perjury, stating that said applicant and/or
owner has read these Orders of Conditions and is in compliance with each
and every condition. This document shall apply to each of the conditions
referenced herein and shall be provided to the Conservation Department at
least five (5) business days prior to the closing of said land transaction.
47.Prior to construction, the Applicant shall submit to the NACC copies of
necessary approvals from the Department of Public Works authorizing
construction of the proposed gravel swale and drainage system within
the Chestnut Street right-of-way.
6 NACC 5/15/01
DEP FILE # 242 - 1076
48.Once these above mentioned pre-construction requirements are complete,
the applicant shall contact the Conservation Office prior to site preparation or
construction and shall arrange an on-site conference with an NACC
representative, the contractor, the engineer, wetland scientist and the
applicant to ensure that all of the Conditions of this Order are understood.
This Order shall be included in all construction contracts, subcontracts, and
specifications dealing with the work proposed and shall supersede any
conflicting contract requirements. The applicant shall assure that all
contractors, subcontractors and other personnel performing the permitted
work are fully aware of the permit's terms and conditions. Thereafter, the
contractor will be held jointly liable for any violation of this Order of Conditions
resulting from failure to comply with its conditions. The applicant or
contractor shall notify the NACC in writing of the identity of the on-site
construction supervisor hired to coordinate construction and to ensure
compliance with this Order. A reasonable period of time shall be provided as
notice of the pre-construction meeting (e.g. 72 hours).
During Construction
49.To the best extent practicable, and with the consent and permission of
the adjacent property owner, the Applicant shall access the subject lot
from Rea Street until such time as it is necessary from a construction
standpoint to access the lot from Chestnut Street. This will minimize
the amount of silt and earth material that may runoff onto Chestnut
Street and potentially into off-site resource areas.
50.Immediately upon completion of the dwelling foundation, and prior to further
construction activities associated with the site, the applicant shall complete
a plan prepared by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor(R.P.L.S.)
which accurately depicts the foundation location and it's proximity to
wetland resource areas as approved under this Order of Conditions.
Said plan shall be submitted to the Conservation Administrator for approval.
51.Upon beginning work, the applicant shall submit written progress reports
every month detailing what work has been done in or near resource areas,
and what work is anticipated to be done over the next period. This will update
the construction sequence.

52.De-watering activities shall be conducted as described in the NO[ and
supporting correspondence and shall be monitored daily by the
applicant to ensure that sediment laden water is appropriately settled
prior to discharge toward the wetland resource areas. No discharge of
water is allowed directly into an area subject to jurisdiction of the Wetlands
Protection Act and/or the North Andover Wetland ByLaw. If emergency de-
watering requirements arise, the applicant shall submit a contingency plan to
the Commission for approval which provides for the pumped water to be
contained in a settling basin, to reduce turbidity prior to discharge into a
resource area.
53.Any fill used in connection with this project shall be clean fill, containing no
trash, refuse, rubbish or debris, including but not limited to lumber, bricks,
